If one station is warming rapidly over a period of a decade a few kilometers from a number of stations that are cooling over the same period, the warming station is likely responding to localized effects (instrument changes, station moves,
microsite changes, etc.) rather than a real climate signal.
The Pairwise Homogenization Algorithm was designed as an automated method of detecting and correcting localized temperature biases due to station moves, instrument changes,
microsite changes, and meso - scale changes like urban heat islands.
The first is
microsite changes of some magnitude resulting from using methods attributed to Leroy (2010).

Because these other stabilization mechanisms are likely much less vulnerable to disturbance than anaerobic
microsites, our research suggests that the impact of climate or land use
change may release greater amounts of carbon from soils than we expected.»
Keiluweit, assistant professor in UMass Amherst's School of Earth and Sustainability, says the team's next steps include quantifying the amount of anaerobic
microsites in different soil ecosystems and assessing how carbon stabilization in them is affected by variables such as the soil hydrologic regime, which is expected to
change dramatically due to climate
change.
Microsite influences on temperature
changes are minimal; good and bad sites show the same trend.
Ignoring the need for a correction, pretending that observing practice matters for
microsite but does nt matter for
changing the TOB, is not best practices
«The identified biases include station moves,
changes in instrumentation, localized
changes in instrumentation location,
changes in observation practices, and evolution of the local and
microsite station environment over time.»
